There are no contracts, no hidden fees, and your credits stay valid for 12 months. This makes Connect-EZ one of the cheapest ways to call the USA from Canada without compromising call quality.
Why People Call the USA from Canada
Whether it’s checking in with relatives in New York, confirming a business deal in Los Angeles, or calling a university admissions office, Canadians make millions of calls to the US every day. Common reasons include:
- Family connections — keeping in touch across borders
- Business coordination — suppliers, clients, and partners
- Travel planning — confirming bookings before arrival
- Education — speaking with schools or exam boards
- Customer support — calling US-based toll-free numbers
- Healthcare consultations — connecting with medical specialists
- Legal matters — client calls and remote court appearances
The Problem with Traditional Carriers
Major Canadian carriers often charge $0.30 to $0.50 per minute for cross-border calls, plus connection fees that can add $0.50 per call. “Unlimited” international plans hide caps, fair usage limits, or cost $50+ monthly. Prepaid calling cards expire quickly and often include hidden connection fees that eat into your minutes.
Real-World Cost Comparison
See how much you can save with Connect-EZ:
- 30-minute monthly family call: $0.42 with Connect-EZ vs. $15+ with traditional carriers
- Weekly 1-hour business calls: $3.64 monthly vs. $120+ with carrier international plans
- Daily 10-minute check-ins: $4.20 monthly vs. $150+ with standard rates
